The Bureau of International Labor Affairs within the Department of Labor intends to award two cooperative agreements totaling 18 million dollars for the Freedom Shield: Global Forced Labor Import Prohibition Initiative. The primary objective of these technical assistance projects is to advance U.S. trade priorities by helping key trade partner countries implement and enforce prohibitions on imports produced with forced labor. This initiative aims to leverage labor commitments in trade agreements to eliminate enforcement gaps that create unfair competition for American producers and workers. Funding is divided between two regional projects, with up to 11 million dollars allocated for a project covering four Latin American countries and up to 7 million dollars for a project covering two Asian countries. Organizations may apply for one or both regional agreements, though multiple applications for a single region are prohibited. Applicants are responsible for developing the specific project outcomes. Interested parties are encouraged to monitor Grants.gov for the full Funding Opportunity Announcement as it is currently under development.

DRL Ensuring Resilient Seafood Supply Chains: Countering Forced Labor and any associated Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing
Solicitation # DFOP0019538
This program, under solicitation DFOP0019538, is designed by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor within the U.S. Department of State to disrupt forced labor and illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in global seafood supply chains, targeting countries in East Asia and the Pacific that have signed Agreements on Reciprocal Trade—excluding Indonesia and the Philippines—as well as nations in the Western Hemisphere and other strategically significant partners whose engagement supports U.S. economic, trade, and maritime interests. The project operates over a 24-month performance period from September 30, 2026, to September 30, 2028, with a total estimated funding of $349,005, allocated across direct and indirect costs through a grant structure rather than a traditional contract, with no CLINs or formal line-item pricing. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Grants.gov or MyGrants by September 3, 2026, and require an active UEI and SAM.gov registration. Evaluation is based on technical merit across six factors: program quality and feasibility, organizational capacity including subaward management and financial systems, ability to achieve objectives, budget realism, monitoring and evaluation rigor with defined indicators and external assessments, and long-term sustainability. The award process employs a trade-off approach, prioritizing technical excellence over price, with tie-breaking favoring applicants with lower indirect cost rates. Compliance with federal regulations including 2 CFR 200, 2 CFR 175 (Trafficking in Persons), and 2 CFR 182 (Drug-Free Workplace) is mandatory, requiring grantees to implement a human trafficking compliance plan and maintain a drug-free workplace policy. Indirect costs must be supported by a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement, and the use of unmanned aircraft systems is restricted. All materials must be submitted in English using specified formatting rules, including 12-point Times New Roman font and strict page limits. The U.S. Government has no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR assigned in this solicitation; oversight is administrative and conducted by the Grants Officer. Acceptance and inspection of deliverables fall to the recipient, who must ensure compliance with procurement and accountability standards under federal award regulations. Promotion and visibility of U.S. Government funding must adhere to State Department branding guidelines under 2 CFR Part 200 and 10 FAM 416.

Special requirements include a detailed security plan addressing operational, digital, and cyber risks with provisions for political risk, kidnapping, and travel insurance; compliance with Trafficking in Persons regulations for awards over $500,000 conducted abroad; adherence to Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance policies prohibiting funding for abortion advocacy or programs promoting gender ideology contrary to biological sex; and full compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws if any activity occurs within the U.S. Recipients must also maintain a TIP compliance plan and submit annual certifications.

This funding opportunity, issued as a Notice of Funding Opportunity, seeks organizations to design and implement projects that leverage early warning and early response systems to address root causes of conflict and build community resilience.

Cost-effectiveness and budget justification using OMB cost categories are critical, with applications demonstrating cost-share commitments—either cash or in-kind contributions from non-U.S. sources—being more competitive. The budget must include detailed line-item data in Excel and a clear narrative, adhering to 2 CFR Part 200 requirements for personnel, travel, equipment over $10,000, and subrecipient oversight.

Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Education and Outreach Initiative
Solicitation # FR-6900-N-21-A
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program – Education and Outreach Initiative, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, aims to prevent and eliminate discriminatory housing practices by funding eligible organizations to conduct public education and outreach efforts. The initiative operates through two main components: the National Media Campaign, which focuses on centralized, nationwide media products and includes targeted efforts to boost participation in Annual Fair Housing Month, and the General Component, which supports localized, community-based programs across the country. Both components require strict oversight by HUD, which retains approval authority over all deliverables, work plans, and statements of work, and actively participates in their development and implementation. Funding is distributed through competitive grants and cooperative agreements, with the majority awarded as grants to regional and local entities. National-level efforts, however, are administered under cooperative agreements managed by HUD Headquarters due to their broader impact and the need for heightened federal oversight and departmental review. HUD conducts regular monitoring, requests quarterly progress reports, and maintains control over the content and delivery of all educational materials. The program is forecasted to be available for applications starting June 18, 2026, with inquiries directed to Katherine Vasilopoulos at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Fostering the Future Together: Empowering Youth for a Safe Digital WorldThe U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs plans to award up to three cooperative agreements totaling $9 million to support initiatives aligned with the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition led by First Lady Melania Trump.

The initiative also aims to bolster government capacity at national and local levels to combat online exploitation, enforce labor laws, and respond to digital threats, while working in coordination with existing national priorities and the First Spouse’s agenda. Partnerships with private sector actors are required to foster sustainable, market-driven solutions to child labor and digital risks. All activities must be implemented in the three designated coalition countries, with funding contingent on the availability of appropriated resources.
